So the Federal soldiers stood the night
through At dawn the light began TO slime
upon a Utterly cold day, Fires we're built
toward the rear then, and companies, in turn
relieving one another went back and thawcd
their frozen garment, and made coffee.
But thy had no food, not bite, Their
only breakfast was coffee, and thus Jhcy made
ready 20 face the day
For the Confclnrutns in the fort it was not
whit moro comfortable. They lay upon
their arms all night in the trenches. And
yet nobody on either side was dishcartcued.
The Confederate soldiers were full of fight
and enthusiasm, At noon the Federal Gen.
Lew Wallace and his Third division of min
gled veterans aud raw recruits arrived into
camp in the center with cheers and songs
and hugles sounding. Gen. Wallace rode
Immediately to Grants headquarters and
diucd with him on crackers and coffee The
general was nearly as badly or as his men.
1t was this day that the interchange Of
Courtcsies between the fleet and the fort took
place.
Meantime there was not much Fighting on
land. RecniOrcements were arriving for
Grant, and were being posted
Grant, troops were distributed over line
nearly -four miles long. His own head
quarters We're at the log house of Mrs Crisp,
two miles from Dover, at the head of lick

center of his army, and between the divisions
OF Lew Wallace and Gen c. f. Smith.
So having arranged matters to suit him,
Grant sat down in the midst of lis blue cres-
cent of soldiers TO starye out Fort Doneisnn.
On their part, the Coufeder,E;e generals in
side the fort were quite aware of their peril.
The night of the 18th Gems Floyd, Pillow
and BuCkner held council and resolved to
cut their way out Of the fort through the
Federal lines next morning. Ten thousand
troops were set apart for this grand sortie.
The Cunfederates too had been REINFORCED.
Brig Gen. Floyd was tho last to arrive, on
the morning of the 18th, with 1000 men.

THE ozFENses OF FORT OoNELsoN,

The bluff upon which Donclson stood was
100 feet high The fort itself WIS what was
called in military language FASHIONED earth
work, with angles like star points projecting
from the main inclOsure outward, ana pro
tected by walls Of heavy carthWorkS, IL was
so situated that its guns commanded the river
ms far as they could carry. Two water bat
ferries were erected on the slope OF the bum
toward the river The larger battery was
the one nearest the shore. II had for arma-
mrnt "A lOinch Columbiad and nine @!pouni
puns The upper battery was supplied with
two - FOUNDERS and one rliicd cannon "hlch
carried "A cOnical ball If l2s pounds. lh'
water batteries were built by Lieut.. Col j.
f. Gimcr, chief engineer Of tho western De
partment Of the Confederate army, lh'l
were constructed after the fall Of Fort Henry.
As soon rs that point was captured the who'll"
available Confederate force IN that region
was concentrated at Donelson
The line of batteries was extended 50 rs to
take in Dover, whore stores Of food ana am
munition were. In and out, through salient
and re-cntrant angle, for two miles and
half, the traccry Of earthworka ana guns
went.
Besides that, the Notifications were pro.
tected with bristllng abatiS. 1t wasa wooded
region, full of "black jack oak and other
woods. The scrub oaks were folled their
branches sharpened at the point and these
and the trees were fastened upon the ground,
sharpencd points outward, in what seemed
an impenetrable abatis. To get ut Fort Don

WHERE WAS GRANT?

1t may have occurred to the reader that the
name of the general commanding, the "boss"
so to speak, Of them all, has not been
mentioned In the naval fight on the l4th,
Commander Foote had been severely
wounded. He sent a message TO Gen. Grant
that as he, Foote, was severely wounded, the
general might perhaps come and see him, and
hold council on board the flag ship st. Louis.
Grant did so, starting early on Saturday
morning. After this consultation Foote started
back to Cairo for mortar boats.
The fleet lay several miles down the river
and Grant did not get back till about
o'clock. The sound of cannonading that
pierced through the woods gave no idea of
the seriousness of the situation
The commander Immediately rode from one
point to another inspecting matters, His
first thought, when be saw his battered bat
talions was to fall back on the defensive, and
wait till Foote came back with Il fleet and re-
At o'clock in the after
noon he called M'Clernand and Wallace to-
